Considered as a very sensitive area, the upper lip is sometimes considered as one of the favorite zones of a thin mustache. Indeed, having a mustache is one of the most embarrassing things in a girl’s life! However, there are quite a few methods to get rid of it! In this article, we tell you everything you need to know about mustache hair removal.
Before waxing your upper lip…
WARNING: Shaving your mustache is NEVER a good idea. Whether you are in a hurry, tired, or sick: better not to do anything than using a razor! As with other areas of the body, hair grows back thicker. The result? The small, discreet mustache gives way to a thicker, denser one … Before any depilation, the skin must be clean and dry, so, the first thing to do before starting is removing all makeup from your face and cleaning it very carefully.
Which method to choose?
There are several techniques to remove your mustache. The selection of the best alternative lies in how much pain you can support, your skin tone, your expectations… We guide you to help you find the method that suits you the most.
Tweezers for scattered hairs
The tweezers method is by far the best one for removing hair from this very sensitive area of the face! Quick and very easy, this method satisfies your expectations by meeting your exact needs … but we recommend this to those who have only a few hairs to remove, otherwise, they can spend hours just in hair removal! It is also an effective method for maintaining depilation on a daily basis.
Discoloration of scattered hairs
If you have few hairs you can opt for discoloration. This method is especially recommended for fine, light-colored hair. Watch out! Discolorations often end up in catastrophes! So, stay alert to allergic reactions: remember to test the product before using it for the first time.
Waxing
Quick and effective, waxing is the method that is used the most to remove hair. If you do it at home, you must pay attention and take into account the risk of burning your skin… So, rule number one lies in avoiding hot wax (opt for cold wax). Otherwise, you can go to a beauty salon and eliminate all sorts of risks by entrusting the depilation to a professional. Another option would be threading! Although it’s painful, it allows you to obtain a top result without any risk of burning!
Laser hair removal
If you have a very thick mustache, a pale skin with dark hair, if these little hairs has become a nightmare for you … there is a unique solution: laser. It is particularly suitable for people with light skin tones and dark hair. As with all laser hair removal, this technique requires several laser sessions, with several weeks of rest between each session and the other (about a month and a half between each session) … and a definitive result can be expected after a minimum of 6 sessions.
How to minimize the pain?
Like any other area of the face, the upper lip is a very sensitive zone. Indeed, it would be a lie to tell you that hair removal is possible without pain. However, there exist multiple tricks that can be adopted to minimize the pain. One of these is hydration, it’s important to moisturize the skin to make hair removal less painful and smoother. Then, it is better to proceed with hair removal after a shower (or bath) because, at that time, the muscles are more relaxed, allowing hair to be removed easier and quicker. You can also rely on the anesthetic effect of the cold: apply a cold glove (or an ice cube) to the specific area for a few seconds, dry it well, then remove the hair. Finally, remember to apply a moisturizing cream to that area after proceeding with the hair removal!
